Professional Liability Insurance: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This insurance is designed to provide a financial safety net for hospitality professionals who are responsible for managing and handling expensive inventory.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is specifically aimed at hospitality staff members who find themselves in positions where they are handling high-value stock. If your daily duties involve the physical management of expensive inventory—such as rare wines, premium spirits, or other high-end goods—this type of coverage is relevant to your professional role.

🎁What you get

The primary benefit of this insurance is coverage for accidental breakage or the loss of high-value stock. In the hospitality industry, accidents can happen during service or while moving inventory. This coverage is intended to mitigate the financial consequences that arise when expensive items are damaged or go missing while under your care.

💰What it costs you

To maintain this protection, you will need to pay annual premiums. While the exact cost depends on your specific situation and the provider you choose, these annual premiums typically start around ¥5,000.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to verify before you spend your own money is whether your employer already provides this protection. Many hospitality establishments carry group policies that cover their staff. You should confirm your status under any existing workplace insurance to avoid paying for redundant coverage.

📝How to apply

1. Review your specific job responsibilities to ensure you are officially handling high-value inventory.
2. Speak with your employer or human resources department to confirm if you are already covered under a company group policy.
3. If you are not covered by your employer, research various insurance providers to find a policy that fits your needs.
4. Compare the terms and annual premium costs offered by different providers.
